Netflix is great if you're a true DVD watcher... which means you can watch 2-5 DVDs at home per week... if you're like me though, that doesn't have time to watch movies all the time, but sometimes finds odd times to watch snippets here and there, then its a waste of money... you're better off buying DVDs like I do... or just renting whenever you feel the urge.

ha, i just had a discussion with the 'rents about that very issue: "managing my time." when i mentioned netflix it induced a mass parental freakout. how will you find time? what about (insert random teenage time requirement here)? the bad thing is, there's def some validity to their argument (as your post has just shown). oh well.

I looked into Netflix as well but decided against it. The main reason was time. I would have to watch a movie every so often to make it cost worthy. I hate Blockbuster too.......especially right after Viacom bought them out a long time ago. But I can rent at my leisure with BB and that's the only good thing about them.

Why don't you rent your movies at independent stores ? They have all the good movies, and some even you won't find anywhere else (cause the guy likes them probably). And when I get in mine, the clerk say : "Hi Pierre" and if I'm late he doesn't say anything and he'll take the reservations for his best clients (like me).

If you live in Los Angeles, I highly reccommend 20/20 Video... they have a very nice selection, and chances are there is one in your hood... another great (but with only a few locations) is Oddessy Video... although 60% of their store is porn... but the non-porn part has a very good selection.

i called this one store- the only one that said "independent movies" and asked him if they had foreign films. "foreign what?!" was my first indication that this guy knew jack. "nope we don't got those..."

i called hollywood video. prices are pretty much equal to blockbuster, though the selection seems mildly better.

i called some other video stores and was not too impressed with any of them- either too far away, not a good selection, or too expensive

i guess 'netflix' it is.

you wouldn't even think i was in that much of a shit town either. i mean, we have a major league baseball team and a couple new stadiums to faciliate their losing asses- i think we should damn well have decent movie stores!
